Since Donald Trump was inaugurated on January 20, prominent Democrats have appeared to be begging for political violence. You had House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) saying, “We’re going to fight Trump in the streets,” a sentiment echoed by extremists like Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy.
One of the most famous examples occurred in Trump’s first term when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) warned that Supreme Court Justices who defied his will would “pay the price.” On Thursday night, after holding the losing hand in budget negotiations, he called Republicans “bastards.”
This is Democrat leadership, folks.
And it seems to be working, as violent anarchists have been attacking Tesla dealerships and chargers in recent days, while a crazed mob descended upon Trump Tower Thursday to show their pro-Hamas allegiance.
The latest to fall victim to this scourge is my personal favorite Trump impersonator and political commentator, Shawn Farash. What he describes happened to him and his wife is anything but funny:
My wife and I were swatted tonight.
We are totally safe.
Thank you to everyone who checked in.
We are going to do whatever is necessary to find out who is behind these coordinated attacks and hold them accountable to the fullest extent.
Thank you all for the support! pic.twitter.com/TRYsx0PF1d

He told the harrowing tale of how he was “swatted” – the “prank” when someone calls law enforcement and says violence is occurring at your house. Officers have no choice but to take the threat seriously. And they did in Shawn’s case:
Hey guys, it’s Shawn, my wife Brennan, and I just want to give you guys an update. We did just get swatted, here in Tennessee. The officers said they received a phone call that that somebody murdered somebody in the house and was planning a suicide by cop. So I received a call with that information and we cooperated with police. They were very nice.
They were not aware that this was going on across the country.
Shawn asked his wife Brennan how that felt:
BRENNAN: I was shaking. I was terrified. I was the only one awake. He was asleep. and they were just pointing their guns into the house and I, I… I was very scared.
SHAWN: That’s the point and that’s what these people are trying to do. They’re trying to silence folks who are not afraid to speak their mind online. And you’ve seen it happen to so many other people across the country. We are gonna do what we can from Tennessee to try and get to the bottom of who’s responsible for it.
He also made clear that these threats are not going to stop him from speaking out or continuing to expose Democrats on his popular Twitter account:
We’re seeing it happening all across the country, we have nothing to hide, you know, none of this stuff happened. But the bottom line is that, if the result was that that the person or people who did this [thought that I] was gonna stop doing things, it’s not going to happen…
Bottom line is I’m not going to stop.

Farash also revealed that after the drama, two pizzas showed up at his house, one from Domino’s and one from Papa John’s—and they were COD. This evidently is a juvenile trick that other conservatives have also recently experienced.
🚨UPDATE🚨
Every conservative being swatted is receiving orders of either Domino’s or Papa John’s and the order is labeled “COD” which means cash on delivery.

The disturbing trend appears to be happening to numerous conservative pundits. Warning: profanity in these next two posts, the first by independent journalist Nick Sortor, the second by conservative political commentator Gunther Eagleman:
Both my dad and my sister were swatted tonight.
A dozen cops attempted to kick my dad’s door in at gunpoint.
This is literal fucking terrorism. And the FBI should treat it as such.
Before calling in the swat, this dumbshit sent my sister an email calling me a Nazi, of course.… pic.twitter.com/LVNgXZ16Im

The gloves are off. First off, my family is safe.
My house was just swatted. Some ignorant fuck called in a fake hostage situation.
Fortunately, I have good relations with law enforcement, and extra patrols will be added. I don’t tolerate threats and will find the culprit.…

Schumer and the Democrats have been egging on violence in subtle and not-so-subtle ways for years now, and they’re getting it. It’s disgusting and dangerous, and someone’s going to get hurt—or killed. Farash explicitly asked in his video for help from the DOJ, and hopefully, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, he will get it. We need our law enforcement cracking down (hard) on this behavior—not the actions of parents at school boards.
